HistoryEdit

File:Tata Steel at Night.jpg

Tata Steel's Jamshedpur plant at night

Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was founded by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata and established by Sir Dorabji Tata on 26 August 1907. TISCO started pig iron production in 1911 and began producing steel in 1912 as a branch of Jamsetji's Tata Group.<ref name=TSH>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=FUH>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> During the First World War (1914–1918), the company weathered by supplying its steel to the war effort in India. <ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1920, TISCO incorporated The Tinplate Company of India Ltd (TCIL), as a joint venture with then Burmah Shell to manufacture tinplate. TCIL was renamed Tata Tinplate and holds 70% market share in India.Template:Citation needed

By 1939, it operated the largest steel plant in the British Empire.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The company launched a major modernization and expansion program in 1951. Later, in 1958, the program was upgraded to 2 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) project.<ref name="TSH" /> By 1970, the company had around 40,000 employees at Jamshedpur, and a further 20,000 in the neighboring coal mines.<ref name="FUH" />

In 1990, the company expanded and established a subsidiary, Tata Inc., in New York. The company changed its name from TISCO to Tata Steel Ltd. in 2005.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In November 2021, Tata Steel was the most profitable company in the Tata Group.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In July 2019, the Tata Steel Kalinganagar (TSK) plant was recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and added to the WEF's Global Lighthouse Network, a list of innovative corporations.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Nationalization attemptsEdit

There have been two unsuccessful attempts to nationalize Tata Steel, one in 1971 and another in 1979. In 1971, Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi tried to nationalize the company but failed. In 1979, Prime Minister Morarji Desai wanted to nationalize the company, spurred by Minister for Industries George Fernandes, and Minister of Steel, Mines and Coals Biju Patnaik. However, union protests prevented such nationalization efforts.<ref name="FUH" /><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Labor welfareEdit

Tata Steel was among the first Indian companies to provide various labor welfare benefits, such as an eight-hour workday (since 1912), free medical care (since 1915), school facilities for employees' children (since 1917), paid time off (since 1920), the formation of a provident fund and accident compensation (both in 1920), vocational training (since 1921), maternity benefits (since 1928), profit-sharing bonuses (since 1934), and a retirement gratuity (since 1937).<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Tata TinplateEdit

The Tinplate Company of India Limited (TCIL) is a subsidiary of Tata Steel. Founded in 1920, TCIL is India's oldest and current largest tinplate manufacturer. The company is described as having "pioneered the tinplate industry in India".<ref name="Karunakar">Template:Cite book</ref> TCIL has a 70% market share in India and exports a fourth of its products outside India.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In January 1920, the Burmah Oil and The Tata Iron & Steel Company (TISCO) jointly incorporated The Tinplate Company of India Limited (TCIL) to cater to the demand for tinplate that arose following World War I. Burmah contributed two-thirds of the startup capital and Tata the remainder. Burmah required tinplate for the cans used to hold the kerosene it produced.<ref name="Corley">Template:Cite book</ref>

By November 1921, structural steel for the plant and machinery had been imported from the US and UK, and the plant was established at Golmuri, Jamshedpur near the Tata Steelworks. The design was based on an Indiana rolling plant. In December 1922, the first hot dip tinning plant started operations.<ref name="Karunakar" /> By 1924, a total of six mills were in production and the company was producing almost 40 percent of India's tinplate needs. In 1926, the level of production exceeded the country's imports for the first time.<ref name="Corley" /> The company's main competition was from tinplate imported from South Wales. In its early years, the Company relied to a large extent on European 'covenanted' labor for supervisory and skilled roles, but this lessened over time as the skills of Indian workers developed. Just under 3,000 workers were employed in the late 1920s, and early 1930s.<ref name="Bagchi">Template:Cite book</ref>

With the outbreak of World War II, TCIL diversified into the manufacturing of un-tinned black plates used in Jettison tanks for the Royal Air Force. Also, TCIL took over the processing of steel from the sheet mills of Tata Steel to augment production.Template:Citation needed

TCIL entered into an agreement with Wean United Canada to switch to the Electrolytic Tinning Process. In 1973, an Electrolytic Tinning Line was commissioned with a capacity of 90,000 tons per annum to produce tinplate and tin-free steel. In 1996, TCIL established its first Cold Rolling Mill Complex with a capacity of 110,000 tons per annum, as part of a backward integration to reduce dependency on imported uncoated sheet steel coils, known as tin mill black plate (TMBP). In 2005, a printing and lacquering line was introduced as part of a forward integration to reduce supply chain inefficiencies. In 2007, mill capacity was more than doubled to 379,000 tons by the commissioning of a second Tinning Line; a second Cold Rolling Mill facility was added a year later. Production and sales reached 360,000 tons in 2018–19.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2012, Tata Steel increased its shareholding in TCIL to 73.44% which currently stands at 74.96%<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Through volumes, TCIL holds 70% market share in India and exports 25% of the production to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

In August 2021, announced its expansion plans, an additional capacity of 300,000 tons per annum.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
